I just took mine out for a nice weekend drive today and cleaned her up real nice afterwards. ?

2 more drives left later this month, and will place her in hibernation.

Got the downpipe *almost* off. ?
Exhaust disconnected... Having trouble breaking the v-band loose to pop it off the bracket. Eventually I'll win and the new one will go on.

do you have to remove the whole exhaust or can you unclamp it from the downpipe?

The exhaust moves juuuust enough to slide the DP out. Having an extra set of hands, to pry the exhaust back, makes it easier.

I always see these on top mounts but does anyone put them on lower mount turbos? Do they have any drawbacks to them?
It will always have a positive effect for heat management.

the stock turbo may be hard to fit one with how tightly everything is packaged and the internal wastegate

Absolutely on bottom mount big turbos. Agree, not on stock frame. There's on in this picture, it's a little hard to see.

It's back there. I can get a better picture in the morning, this one is hard to see.

Hhahah, already modded it eh?
I can't bring myself to track a car with an OEM cat... Knowing what's happening to the turbo. ?
I decided to make an exception if it helps the car to live longer and happier.

Took off the H&R springs in favor of HKS Hipermax adjustables. The front settled too low for my liking with the H&R. So far, so good with HKS: I like my revised ride height and it seems a bit more compliant but it’s early days.
